The principles of sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth are important formulations in reading culture that always meets the progress of the times. Culture is not merely about artistic products or certain traditional products, culture is harmony between social behavior and inner movement. So that the discussion about integration is not only limited to the development of theory with an academic basis, but becomes an ontological basis with a reading of reality and social phenomena that occur.
The meeting of the G20
culture ministers in India encouraged cultural integration to support
development, resilience and regeneration of social maturity in social life. In
a social order that is currently experiencing various upheavals and gaps,
especially in contemporary economic and ecological spaces. Culture becomes the
arena of awareness in raising social sensitivities. This sensitivity is a great
hope for the creation of peace, cooperation and sustainable mutually open life.
Building human resources who
are aware of culture will be the way for sustainable social development. Where
it can harmonize with the rhythm of social life of the community and also adapt
to developments in technology and science. Awareness of culture becomes a
movement of awareness towards very intimate spaces in life, namely the social
dimension, educational dimension, openness dimension, diversity dimension and
religious dimension. The progress of the era is of course in harmony with moral
and awareness inequality, climate inequality and conservatism, economic
inequality with social security, and so on. Therefore, the discussion of
culture requires the encounter of diversity, both beliefs, knowledge, and
different wisdom backgrounds.
The meeting of G20 culture
ministers in India is another attempt to respond to concerns about increasingly
diverse climate changes. So that it affects the conservation of cultural and
natural heritage, including intangible and real cultural heritage , creativity,
as well as local communities as a language and community knowledge system that
can overcome the problems of change and development of the times.
Empowered and Cultured
Culture has always been a
color in various aspects of life. Ancestral heritage that is transformed into
sustainable development has the impact of resolution of global problems that
occur. From climate problems, religious conservatism, industrialization of
education and the global economy. Because ancestral heritage has the power of
transformation to understand biodiversity and contribute to various resolution
strategies for various social problems in general.
Conservation of cultural
property is part of maintaining ancestral heritage. To maintain it all, it is
necessary to introduce it to a wide audience, either through research or
empowerment. The introduction of indigenous peoples, guarding holy places,
heritage in the form of heirlooms, temples, ruins and so on will have an impact
on human development in the economic and social aspects. Because efforts to
conserve cultural wealth, both tangible and intangible, will become the basis
for expanding knowledge and increasing solidarity and social justice.
How can we know our ancestral
heritage without research or utilizing various cultures in communication spaces
or - even expressing it in various aspects of life so that it becomes a visible
form of world cultural diversity, whether in the form of morality, spirituality
or integrity. This can provide the
advancement of the cultural and creative industries, thus impacting the
creative economy. The impact is on artists and cultural activists who represent
themselves in cultural spaces. It is only natural that a cultural identity is
embedded in someone who is aware of conservation, innovation and alignment of
ancestral heritage in the course of life.
The next basic cultured
principle is about how to read digital technology opportunities as a form of
dissemination and protection on the other side. We as humans who are closely
related to culture must certainly be aware of the benefits and opportunities of
digital technology. The visible benefit is disseminating cultural values and
forms of wisdom, even creativity in inclusive spaces due to diversity in global
spaces.
Another benefit is building a
digital ecosystem based on the principles of inclusivity, equality,
accessibility, trust, diversity and sustainability. So that culture or cultural
products have better progress, even related parties such as UNESCO, ICCROM,
ICOM, ICOMOS and UNIDROIT also take a role in preserving cultural values. This
is part of cross-sectoral collaboration and dialogue between policy makers and
cultural heritage stakeholders and their managers. Which cultural heritage or
cultural values can influence policies on transnational actions for cultural
crimes. Therefore, social justice for all Indonesian people is part of the
principal basis for the importance of exploring the values of ancestral
heritage in the form of culture.
Therefore empowered and
cultured are efforts made to protect ancestral heritage in the form of values
or objects even so that it can influence patterns of social interaction in
various spaces. Because the social area is so broad, culture becomes a broad
space to utilize our humanity in various aspects of life, from the most basic
to the highest.

Indonesia Reactualizes
Culture
In the Indonesian context,
the benefits of the G20 cultural meeting apart from disseminating and
introducing diverse cultures, also illustrate that the culture in Indonesia has
an influence on various existing social aspects. As well as, law, geopolitics,
defence, education, economics and religious communication. Culture becomes a
space for the communication of ideas and ideas in social institutions that
combines exercise (affective), exercise of feeling (intuition),
and exercise of the soul (substance basis).
The problem that is equally
encountered by other countries is the existence of a cultural shift in
substantive meaning. Trends and the adoption of the influence of collective
preferences become a market on the one hand and a supply of pleasure for the
audience on the other. Why is this shift happening? Of course there are various
issues that affect it. Internal influences, for example, where education is the
spearhead of cultural conservation in terms of values and products has not yet
provided a legal platform. The use of technology is inversely proportional to
the hope that this culture will be known to a wider audience.
We cannot judge the shift in
ancestral values unilaterally. Because under certain conditions culture also
experiences color harmony along with the development of humans and their time.
When the cultural trend in the form of local wisdom heritage is only
commodified in the form of developing the tourism side, then only the economic
aspect, and of course culture becomes industrialized. Even though culture
should be in harmony with the behavior of the inner and outer human being.
Where the moral entity is humanizing humans, bridging local wisdom as a
space for research, development and conservation that impacts social welfare,
especially social justice. This is what Buya Syafi'i Ma'arif often voiced that
the fifth precept in Pancasila should not be an orphan precept. In other words
, culture is part of humanity that is mainstreamed in shaping life so that it
can realize the ideals of the nation with its " Binneka Tunggal Ika ".
Education is a bridge to
actualize culture in various approaches to knowledge. The re-knowledge of
culture in Indonesia needs more attention. Especially in terms of norms and
values. The re-scientific process can be carried out using research approaches,
outreach, exploring cultural roots, extracting data and sources of the benefits
of artifacts inherited from the ancestors, re-scientizing the attitudes of
previous wise men in making policies, analyzing the social strategies used,
analyzing societal mindsets. in customary tribes that are still developing so
that they influence policy formulation in the form of regional regulations and
so on.
The meeting of the G20
culture ministers in India illustrated how hopes regarding cultural
reactivation in various aspects of life, which when actualized in the
Indonesian context with current cultural realities, will become an
interdisciplinary dialogue to determine attitudes towards cultural heritage
recorded in various texts, artefacts. , heritage symbols, arts and so on.
The principle of social
justice for all Indonesian people is a cultural principle that combines
intellect and energy, morals and will to oversee the development of human
qualities, social communication, intercultural communication, communication
between religions and beliefs. To respond to cultural shifts, there needs to be
openness. Creating awareness of openness requires knowledge and communication
power that cannot be separated from moral nobility. Cultural re-actualization
will take place when the moral position is understood as noble wisdom, or wise
nobility.
